A “split-alley” technique for equating brightness in a visual discrimination task

Inhibition in Superior Colliculus Neurons in a Brightness Discrimination Task?

Simultaneous recordings were collected from between two and four buildup neurons from the left and right superior colliculi in rhesus monkeys in a simple two-choice brightness discrimination task. The monkeys were required to move their eyes to one of two response targets to indicate their decision. Neurons were identified whose receptive fields were centered on the response targets. The functi...

Retention of a Brightness Discrimination Task in Paramecia, P. caudatum

Modelling a visual discrimination task

We study the performance of a spiking network model based on Integrate-andFire neurons when performing a benchmark discrimination task. The task consists of determining the direction of moving dots in a noisy context. By varying the synaptic parameters of the Integrate-and-Fire neurons, we illustrate the counter-intuitive importance of the second order statistics (input noise) in improving the ...

passivity in waiting for godot and endgame: a psychoanalytic reading

this study intends to investigate samuel beckett’s waiting for godot and endgame under the lacanian psychoanalysis. it begins by explaining the most important concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. the beckettian characters are studied regarding their state of unconscious, and not the state of consciousness as is common in most beckett studies. according to lacan, language plays the sole role in ...

A NEURO-FUZZY TECHNIQUE FOR DISCRIMINATION BETWEEN INTERNAL FAULTS AND MAGNETIZING INRUSH CURRENTS IN TRANSFORMERS

This paper presents the application of the fuzzy-neuro method toinvestigate transformer inrush current. Recently, the frequency environment ofpower systems has been made more complicated and the magnitude of the secondharmonic in inrush current has been decreased because of the improvement of caststeel. Therefore, traditional approaches will likely mal-operate in the case ofmagnetizing inrush w...
